Go get 'em Dave Garofalo! I'll be rooting for you.

(Dave is the surviving half of Two Guys Cigars, and an all-around awesome guy.)

Much love to my friends at Draper's as well.

While interesting, this sounds SUPER hokey.

That being said, Ernie Carrillo is a VERY talented blender, so I will definitely give this a try.

(Also, I'm glad to see he's including a sub-50 gauge offering. Hope for the Cardinal line?)

I completely agree with you, but I must point out Adi's point that the watch doesn't look cheap unless you view it through a loupe.

And honestly, I wear watches because they look nice. Technical excellence is a secondary boon :)

You know what? Some of us don't have the means to drop five or six figures on a watch. And we would rather put that money toward, I don't know, a CAR or a HOUSE.

If we can get something of decent quality at a reasonable price, don't you dare judge us.

Oh and the 'base' model in silver costs $6,000.

The top model goes for roughly ten times that amount.

As utterly tasteless as the pen. When I was working in a pen boutique, we had one on display.

It is an amazing piece of casting, but simply disgusting tonloo at. And nearly impossible to write with.

Liking the sizes, not so much the pricing.

But what are you gonna do?

Great googly-mooglies but thems ain't inexpensive.

And maybe it's just me, but I find the Glocks to be EXTREMELY tacky.

Gorgeous flieger!

Haven't bought any watches this year (unemployed), so this would be a wonderful change of pace!

I really love Sosa Underground. Just wish I still had access to them...

Thanks Charlie. I didn't want to make a big deal about that.

And I'm done ranting about Gurkha. Somebody else can take up my mantle.

I really want to love this cigar, but every example I've tried has been bitter and unpleasant.

But I'm going to keep pushing, because I'm a Quesada loyalist.

If they're trying to emulate the Serie D No. 4, I'm quite intrigued. That is one amazing cigar.

I have really enjoyed the Tres Reynas I've smoked.

And I'm quite excited that there will be a corona added to the line!

Interesting. Will it drive me to buy? Unlikely.

But interesting, nonetheless.

While I disagree with you on nearly every point, because you didn't respond to me in the manner demonstrated by 'Kaizad Sosa' I will actually listen to you.

Show me evidence that the blenders you mentioned did work for Hansotia and I shall reconsider my opinion of his farcical organization.

And while your comment is certainly slightly offensive, I shall let if roll off my back as I have more important issues to deal with than whether some anonymous Internet commenter approves of my opinions.

Good night, Mike.

You're entirely welcome, Bailey. If you can't deal with the fact I find Honduran tobacco overly harsh when compared to Nica and DR (not to mention That Other Island), as my father would say, you can LUMP IT.
